SONG OF THE WEEK: "Dancing on the Moon" by The Fleisher Brothers (1935)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Mon, 07/12/2010 - 01:00

This is kinda' long, and mostly musical. Likely as many of you will find it charming as will find it gratingly awful, according to your tastes. Well, duh, I guess that's true of everything.

MOVIE REVIEWS: “Green Lantern: First Flight (2009)

Submitted by Republibot 2.0 on Sun, 01/17/2010 - 09:10

The DC Comics direct to DVD animated spectaculars continue with the origin of Green Lantern. "Wait!" you say, "Didn't we just see the origin of Green Lantern two movies ago in 'Justice League:The New Frontier'"? Well, yes we did. And no we didn't....

(I'm going to try to make this as 'Spoiler Light' as possible, so I'm going to gloss a bit over the traditional Republibot Play by Play)

There are still spoilers, but I try to keep the particulars obscured...

There Will Come Soft Rains

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Thu, 12/10/2009 - 01:00

"There Will Come Soft Rains" is a short story by Ray Bradbury, first published in 1950 as a standalone, and later compiled into "The Martian Chronicles" as a kind of "Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch" story that's kind of achingly plaintive and sad.

DVD MOVIE REVIEW: “Justice League: New Frontier” (2008)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Mon, 05/04/2009 - 08:00

This is two thirds of a really good movie, which makes it especially frustrating when it all falls apart at the end. The film is set solidly in the 1950s, beginning the day (7/27/1953) and ends with a badly-animated president Kennedy giving a speech in July of ’61. The premise is that superheroes have gone out of fashion in the days since WW2, with most having retired. Those who remain are strongly questioning why they do it, since the lines between ‘good’ and ‘evil’ have gotten spectacularly muddy. (Huh?

Are there more brothers in The Venture Brothers?

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Wed, 04/29/2009 - 08:03

I don’t actually know any more about this than any of the rest of you do, possibly less as I’ve been deliberately ducking spoilers, but here’s my *theory* about The Venture Brothers: I think The Monarch and Rusty are brothers. They’re the same age, they’re both utter jackasses, they’re both skinny as hell and both have very red hair. We’ve also seen that Rusty’s dad, Jonas, got around and sired at least one illegitimate offspring, and that The Monarch was essentially an orphan-with-a-trust-fund. Who set up the trust?

EPISODE REVIEWS: Ben 10: "War of the Worlds" (Season 2, Episodes 12 and 13)

Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Fri, 03/27/2009 - 23:18

Ben 10: Alien Force is the second TV show in the “Ben Ten” franchise. The original series ran for five production cycles, or about 3 years, and “Alien Force” is set five years later. Whereas the original show was an open-ended series of more-or-less standalone adventures, this one was conceived of as a two-season arc series. It ended tonight.
